“This initially comes from a microfilm printout at the Royal Danish Library. There’s more where that came from, but I’ve kind of been drip-feeding it a bit while I put together a few articles on
Scottish clubs’ early tours of Scandinavia, mainly Denmark. Queen’s Park had visited Denmark a few days earlier that year, and Celtic, Rangers and Hearts, along with QP, made several visits. So too did Edinburgh Civil Service FC. All of the northeast of England clubs, especially Newcastle United and Middlesbrough, were also frequent guests.”

From CGS:
My oldest daughter speaks some Norwegian (similar to Danish seemingly) so was able to do a rough translation of the narrative. She says it’s very old Danish as the way it is written changed in the 1940s. Here is the rough translation:
“At the last football game between the Scottish and the selected Danish team there were moments when the game was in the Scots’ favour for example, at the moment which is shown on our picture where Lindgreen hits the ball hard with his head and sends it towards the enemy goal. The ball hit the goal post and rolled down behind the net. The Scots’ joy and Danish grief was apparent.”
